Great Service Friendly Staff Skilled Artists

This is hands down one of the best tattoo/piercing shops I've ever been into. Everyone was so nice and welcoming!!! I was only going in there to get a piercing changed and Dani did such an incredible job. She made me feel so fantastic by the time I left, so next I need a piercing or tattoo I'm 100% coming here

Love Culture Independent artists Beautiful heartache

Have always loved this place and the people. The culture attracts so many free thinkers, a culture of independent artists, and a thriving love for this beautiful heartache we call life.

Friendly staff Professional environment Comfortable experience Positive self-esteem boost

Getting my septum pierced by Dani was a great experience! She was very friendly and kind and I think she could tell that I was nervous about how it looked because she hyped me up and made me feel really good about myself.
The shop is clean and professional. I felt comfortable the whole time. Thanks Dani!

Improper Techniques Poor Aftercare Uninformed Staff

Dani was super sweet but is extremely uninformed about proper piercing techniques and aftercare. She insisted I get a hoop even though that’s not the proper jewelry to get pierced with and when I had to get it switched to a stud she gauged it up and used material that is not great for healing. When I had been here years prior I had my ears pierced with a butterfly back which is the incorrect thing for that too. She also insisted that I clean my nose with antibacterial soap which is so incorrect. Please go to Primal Decor in Eureka if you wish to get an piercings done.

Tattoos Piercings Friendly Environment Talented Artists Safe Place

I’ve come into NorCal for multiple different appointments for tattoos and piercings, they’re always a super lovely environment. Very welcoming, happy to help, and such a safe place to be. Never feel weird asking questions, or for help as their whole shop is so lovely and kind. Jeremy is one of my favorite tattoo artists there (though they all have amazing talent!) and Dani is my piercer. Though I’ve had awesome experiences with Michael and Amy as well.

If you’re considering going to NorCal do it! They’ll fix you right up and help you feel great about your new tattoo/piercing/any other services you get!
